- McGregor's 74-inch reach gives him a notable four-inch advantage over Holloway despite being two inches shorter
- The contrast in styles is sharp — Holloway's elite volume striking against McGregor's precision and southpaw angles sets up a compelling stand-up puzzle
- A McGregor victory would push him firmly back into the lightweight conversation after time away from competition
